Nah mate....I actually enjoy the fact I now own a Trance after years of more exotic makes....I like the fact that snobbish riders at trail centres don't pay much attention to it. It's a damn nice frame, all I'll ever need for an all-day bike.

No offence, Good for you, alot of bike stores here offer 90% Giants, there web sites are full of them with only a small % of other known brands, Mass Marketing, at the end of the day you ride what you want to ride.

Shame it's USA only, I was getting excited about having a reason to make and edit a video. I know Avids do have some issues, however if you spend the time to bled them and lubricate the pistons evenly I have 3 sets of perfectly working Avid's. The lower end models can be a nightmare to get the bite point right, and setup consistantly, but then again, you can get a disc brakes for under £50!

Pinkbike doesn't sensor anything, no matter how many times you claim they do. If they did, someone would have been able to provide at least some screen caps with time stamps proving it. Yet despite all the conspiracy theorists, no one has even a shred of proof. If I recall correctly there was a rumor that Fox and Specialized had PAID pinkbike to delete comments (which actually weren't deleted, they were below threshold after being downvoted). And a ton of people believed this, and said the comments had been deleted, even after it was shown and explained where they were people claimed they were deleted and then "put back" after the outrage. Yet still no proof.
